Many thanks Unman for trying so hard to help me :-))

It is the first one, in the heading,  the second is just syntax that you
properly corrected, but even after the correction and after running
qvm-prefs without errors, then trying to start the VM I fall again to the
first error.

It seems the end of  your paragraph is lacking.

If you mean rebooting, yes I rebooted many times.

 I do not know what upstream proxies are, but if you means something like
qvm-start <VM-name>
then I always get the heading error, unless the VM is not connected to
network. In this last case it starts normally.

Unman, the problem is that  in the past it was easy to fix this error
simply pointing each VM to a different kernel, on the contrary now this
workaround does NOT work anymore. Worse than that I cannot even make dom0
recognize that I plugged in some USB stick, so even taking a backup (that
luckily finished successfully)  out of dom0 is problem.

result: nothing started

But many thanks again for your strong patience
